We will end harmful policing practices like racial profiling, stop and frisk, and oppressive “broken windows” policing – all of which actively undermine public safety and community trust in law enforcement. 5/
Police forces should not look and act like invading armies. We must demilitarize our police forces and establish federal standards for the use of body cameras. 6/
Eric Garner and too many others should be alive today. Violence and brutality of any kind at the hands of the police is unacceptable and will not be tolerated when we are in the White House. Read the rest of my plan here: 7/7https://berniesanders.com/justice-and-safety-for-all/ …

An upgrade to the body cams is needed. Those cams should always be on and recording, while an officer is on duty. Additionally, officers should have no control over their cams and should accept the full surveillance as part of their uniform.
